I am training since two years and my biggest never ending issue is middle hand palm pain.

High, I’m a high school athlete. Football is my main sport and in the spring I run track. Obviously I really want to make it into the NFL so I work year round to do well in football.

Hi guys, i was hoping someone could help me out or offer some advice.

At what age does your speed and vertical leap really start to diminish? I am guessing late 30s but I am curious as to what you guys think and possibly if anyone with actual experience can chime in on this. I am curious because if you have never lifted weights or worked on plyos I am curious if you...

I recently had a bad bout of appendicitis (burst 5 days before surgery, necrotic tissue, septic, all the fun stuff) and was hospitalized for an extended period of time because of complications. Due to my digestive tract shutting down, I was unable to intake any type of caloric sustenance while in...

Hey,
I've been doing some reading up on RFD and just wanted to some confirmation.
I squat with a pause for a couple of seconds, or starting a squat from sitting on a box and then exploding upwards - Is that what works the RFD?

I’m a 5’8 14 year old with a standing reach of 7’6. I’m 160 pounds with a body fat of about 15-16% although I can still see my abs when flexing. When I cut for summer I got down to 144 at about 8% body fat. Also I mean a real 8% where I could see veins on my abs and legs. Then did a “bulk” without...

Recently my friends got me to join the school track and field team. As a geeky sophomore in high school I began to feel the intense pressure from my parents wanting me to play some organized sport.

Can anyone recommend me a...

After Sheehy’s book was published, everybody seemed to be having a midlife crisis. Perhaps, Setiya writes, people married too early during the conservative postwar decades, then reëvaluated their lives as the counterculture flowered. On the whole, though, research on the frequency of midlife crises...

I just recently started playing basketball for an organized team. I'm in 8th grade and 14 years old. However, I have been practicing the game for quite a while, (I'd say since 6th grade summer vacation, so about 1.5 years ago at this point) and I've gotten well above average handles and skills in...

He’s 5’5” and...
